使用精神状态、精神合并症、囤积症状严重程度和日常生活囤积活动（ADL-H）量表对具有临床显着囤积症的老年人（n = 28）和非精神病对照组（n = 25）进行正式评估。部分囤积参与者的多个功能领域均出现中度至严重损伤。在非精神病对照组和老年囤积参与者中，ADL-H 评分存在显着差异。正如预期的那样，囤积严重程度与 ADL 损伤显着相关。 ADL-H 是一种临床上有用的工具，用于测量和评估受杂乱影响的重要功能域，而这些功能域可能无法通过传统的囤积严重程度或 ADL 测量来评估。改善 ADL 是患有囤积症的老年人的重要治疗目标。由爱思唯尔公司出版
Older adults with clinically significant hoarding (n=28) and non-psychiatric controls (n=25) were formally assessed using measures of mental status, psychiatric comorbidity, hoarding symptom severity, and the activities of daily living-hoarding (ADL-H) scale. Moderate to substantial impairment was found in multiple functional domains for a portion of hoarding participants. Significant differences were detected between ADL-H scores in non-psychiatric controls and geriatric hoarding participants. As expected, hoarding severity measures significantly were associated with ADL impairment. The ADL-H is a clinically useful tool for measuring and assessing important functional domains affected by clutter that may not be assessed by traditional hoarding severity or ADL measures. ADL improvement is an important treatment target for older adults with hoarding. Published by Elsevier Inc.
